International Travel Vaccinations

Persons traveling outside the United States may be required to receive immunization against diseases that are common to foreign countries but not prevalent in the U.S., such as yellow fever and typhoid fever. Our Travel and Immunization Clinic, located at our main facility on Dameron Avenue, offers vaccines recommended or required for travel outside the U.S. We follow the immunization recommendations set forth by the CDC.

Plan to receive your travel vaccines a minimum of four to six weeks prior to departure. Appointments are required for travel immunizations. To make an appointment or for a list of available vaccines and costs, please call 865-215-5070. We accept credit cards, cash and check. Click here for more payment information.

Notice Regarding International Travel Immunizations

As of January 1, 2019, payment of vaccinations for yellow fever, typhoid (oral and injectable), Japanese encephalitis and pre-exposure rabies (received for international travel only) will be expected at the time of service. Payment will include one $15 administration fee per visit.

Following payment, you may request a receipt to send to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Your medical insurance company’s decision to decline or accept reimbursement of payments made for international travel immunizations is their own and is final.

We will continue to bill medical insurances for all other immunizations received at International Travel appointments; however, you will receive a statement of charges owed for any fees not covered by your insurance.

Advance Beneficiary Notice (or Medicare waiver) will continue to be completed for those insured by Medicare. Your nurses will discuss this during your visit, if applicable.

If you are traveling to a malaria risk area, our nurse will advise you on appropriate anti-malaria medication and provide you with a written letter of recommendation for your health care provider. We no longer provide prescriptions for anti-malaria medication. It is the traveler's responsibility to follow up with a health care provider to obtain the recommended anti-malaria medication.
